✂️ ABOUT WILSON JEDD ADAMS

Wilson Jedd Adams (he/him) is a South Australian–born multidisciplinary artist and fashion designer whose work reimagines queerness through maximalism, club culture and experimental design. With a background in contemporary art, his practice transforms traditional garment construction into sculptural forms that explore fashion as a vehicle for transformation and authenticity. Known for his intuitive process and refusal to repeat ideas, Adams pushes boundaries through exaggerated silhouettes, raw finishes and the use of deadstock and upcycled materials.

His work has featured in Melbourne Fashion Week, Melbourne Fashion Hub, Queer by Design, the Emerging Artists Collective runway and the National Graduate Showcase at PayPal Fashion Festival. He holds a Bachelor of Contemporary Arts from the University of South Australia and a Bachelor of Fashion Design (Honours) from RMIT, and has appeared in To Be Magazine and Fashion Journal.
